Lettice and Lovage: A Comedy in Three Acts

Couverture
Deutsch, 1988 - 94 pages
'Enlarge! Enliven! Enlighten!' is the watchword - one might almost say battle cry - of Miss Lettice Douffet, expert on Elizabethan cuisine and medieval weaponry, indefatigable enthusiast of History and the Theatre. Her encounter with Miss Lotte Schoen, devotee of unvarnished fact, could hardly be expected to be fruitful; yet a strange and wonderful friendship develops between the two women.
